Great Vacation Rental
This was a great vacation spot for our group of four families, 8 adults and 9 kids ages 11-17. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms was great. There were enough seats for all of us plus a few extra at the dining tables. We could all fit cozily in the living area for games. The kitchen had enough space to prepare and store food. It was well stocked with pots/pans/utensils/dishes. We got tons of use out of the pool and having direct access to the beach was amazing! We had a couple small issues come up while we were there and it was really easy to text the manager and they responded promptly. We would definitely stay here again or at other properties managed by this company.

Great Getaway
The house was very large, had great access to the beach and meet all our expectations. The accommodations were comfortable and clean. The pools was also clean and used daily. There was plenty of space for all of use to be together without feeling crowded. The two parallel tables were particularly great as we were able to sit down together for dinner several nights, as well as play games.

Ocean Awaits 1
The house was exactly as pictured. It had room for our two big families. 14 of us total. The ice maker was great to fill up our cooler each day. We found most everything we needed for cooking. The house is right on the beach and our kids loved the heated pool. Would stay again!

Absolutely Beautiful!
My family loved everything about this house! It is beautifully decorated and has an awesome view of the ocean, which is just a short walk away. It is very clean, has a ton of space, comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, and is in a great location - close to everything but still away from the crowds. The pool is pretty great too! Will definitely stay again!
